5 Key Lessons Learned from Working with Steven Bartlett

What I learned from working with Steven Bartlett for 2 days.

I have had the pleasure of spending time with Steven Bartlett over the last couple of days because of his involvement in one of our campaigns. My team at Saulderson Media booked and managed Steven as a key speaker for our client ASUS in their recent Zenbook Fold 17 OLED launch event. The event was a huge success!

Here are the invaluable learnings I took from my time with him:

⏰ Time is absolutely everything. Especially at the level, Steven is at. Optimising and finding ways to gain more time is necessary to balance a plethora of projects and maintain personal time.

📖 Become a natural storyteller. Steven is an extremely capable and natural speaker. But what was most fascinating was his way of engaging people he is speaking to via storytelling. The people you are speaking to are going to find what you say more deep and memorable if you’re good at this.

🙋‍♂️ You can be the most successful person and still be humble. It was really inspiring to see Steven’s humility. Most public figures definitely don’t maintain this. But Steven treated everyone with respect and doesn’t try to draw extra importance to himself.

👥 Building a great team is vital. Steven gave kudos to his strong team a lot in our conversations and his talk. As he is working across so many things at once, having strong support to keep him on track and organise and filter opportunities for him means he can lock in on the critical tasks.

📈 Steven believes Web3 is the future and society will continue moving to adopt it. That’s why he built thirdweb, to allow developers and intelligent people creating things in Web3 a platform to accelerate what they are building.

A big shout out to the Saulderson Media and ASUS team for a successful event! As well as Dom Murray from Steven’s team whom I had the pleasure of working with and meeting for this project.
